The North side of the park is infine shape. Cark and Jack doing a good job.

The shore section South side betweenLenox and Euclid is badly in need ofwork.

1. dead tree limbs still overhang the path posing a real hazard to walkers their pets and joggers.

2. No guard rail, or several large rocks have been placed at the foot of Lenox to prevent an out of control vehicle from coming down on people/pets on the walk below.

3. Knotweed has invaded the inward side of the footpath, just East of the 1 and 2 above. If not quickly eradicated, this invasive Knotweed will rapidly spread througout the park.

4. Three Red Dogwood bushes planted at the base of 1 above are lanquishing. They will survive if replanted on the waters edge.

6. The whole length of the recently improved footpath needs plantings of Red Osier Dogwoods and other plants that like wet feet, to stabilize the shoreline reducing erosion of the footpath and silting of the pond.
